SWEAT-PAD FOR HORSE-COLLARS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 353,913, dated December 7, 1886.

Application filed September 27, 1886. Serial No. 214,688. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, STEPHEN BARSTOW, a citizen of the United States, residing at Farmington, in the county of' Fulton, State ofIllinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sweat-Pads, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

My invention is a sweat-pad for horse-collars.

It consists in the parts which will be hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective view of the pad.

Fig. 2 is a top plan view of a fragment of the top portion. Fig. 3 is a cross section taken on the linear 00, Fig. 1. cation from the construction shown in Fig. 1.

Like letters indicate like parts throughout the several views.

A A indicate the two stuffed wings of the pad.

B B indicate the forward parts of the. pad. The parts B B are stuffed. They extend from a point near each side of the top to a point near the outer end of the wings A A. Two narrow flexible strips, GO, intervene between the stufi'ed portions B A and B A, respectively. The strips 0 Gare not stuffed. A

D, in Figs. 1 and 2, indicates the elliptical flexible top portion. This top portion is not stuffed, as indicated in those two figures. The top portion, D, as shown in Fig. 4 is stuffed.

The flexible parts 0 0' form a recess or groove between the stuffed portions B A and B A.

Fig. at isa slight modifi- When the pad is placed in position on a horses neck and encircled by a collar, the stuffed ribs B B extend forward outside the collar. This-permits the forwardend of the collar to rest and occupy aseat in the grooves O 0, whereby the wings A A are kept under the collar and the wings B B'left free to move in unison with the horses neck, thereby preventing the animals neck from rubbing or coming in contact with the collar.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States- 1. A sweat pad for horse-collars. consisting of two stuffed wings and two stuffed ribs lying forward of said wings,with a narrow vflexible space intermediate each of the main wings and the stuffed ribs, said narrow spaces being free from stufflng, substantially as described, and for the purposes set forth.

2. A sweat-pad for horse-collars, consisting of a top flexible portion withoutstufflng. each of the two sides of said top being provided with a stuffed wing, two flexible stutfed ribs extending from points near the sides of the top downward to a length nearly equal to the length of the wings, and a flexible space not stuffed intermediate each of the wings and ribs, substantially as described, and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

STEPHEN BARSTOWV.
